Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Karl McCartney (Conservative). It was answered by Stephen Hammond (Conservative) on Thursday, 27 June 2013 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Dangerous Driving

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to reduce incidents of dangerous driving.
Answer

We are taking forward the measures set out in the strategic framework for road safety. In 2012, a new offence of causing serious injury by dangerous driving came into force. We are also creating a new drug-driving offence and will consult on the limits shortly. We have also consulted on changes to make the enforcement of drink-driving laws more effective. Additionally, we intend to publish a Green Paper on young drivers later this year.
